Thabo Mbeki Says Cyril Ramaphosa Should Resign Following ANC’s Poor Performance

Former South African president Thabo Mbeki has delivered a strong criticism of President Cyril Ramaphosa’s leadership, arguing that he should consider stepping down following what he views as a disappointing period for the African National Congress (ANC).

Mbeki reportedly said he could not identify any significant positive achievements since Ramaphosa assumed the presidency in 2018, describing his administration’s record as negative.

He also commented on reports suggesting that Ramaphosa may be considering resigning, saying such a decision would be appropriate given the party’s performance and the challenges facing the country.

According to Mbeki, leaders must accept responsibility when their organisations experience serious setbacks. He argued that a political party’s poor performance should have consequences for those occupying senior leadership positions.

The former president further suggested that other ANC leaders should also consider stepping aside, questioning how they could continue holding influential positions after what he considers a major political failure.

His remarks add to growing discussions about accountability and leadership within the governing party, particularly following the ANC’s declining electoral support and increasing political challenges.

However, his assessment reflects his personal views on the party’s performance and Ramaphosa’s leadership.
